Summary
"This book examines the work of three different women's movements - two Jewish-Israeli and one Muslim-Palestinian - in and around Jerusalem's Temple Mount/al-Haram al-Sharif and the Western Wall. While my research for the book entailed participating in and observing some of the groups' activities, this book is not an ethnography in a traditional sense. The time I spent in the city as a researcher for this project was limited to one-month and two-month visits; the summers of 2015 and 2016 as well as December of 2015. I accompanied women activists to the sites where their efforts were focused and some to their homes.1 Alongside conversations with activists and observations, I collected materials from the groups - mainly religious texts used in ritual and in teaching, and advocacy materials. I reviewed a large number of videos put up by the groups as well as their online publications"-- Provided by publisher
